Katherine Good, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Depression is like a deep dark hole and it can leave a person feeling hopeless. This does not need to be the case. There is hope for finding relief from the pain of depression and I have the skills and tools to help. In my years of experience I have found that sometimes a person needs a non-judgmental listener to help them grow. Other times a person needs more specific guidance. I can do both.

This is confusing for most people who don't suffer from it. Can't we all relate to feelings of depression?How many of you hear stories of how someone has pulled out of it with their own will power or been given suggestions to take a bath or serve others? If you are struggling with the condition, this can make you feel misunderstood, angry, invalidated and alone. Depression is not anyone's fault. Look in your family tree. Anyone else seem to fighting this? It runs in families because it is about heritable sensitivities in your body, like allergies or cancers. If you struggle with depression, even if it seems to come and go, please get help. There are people who get it and are there for you.

Meredith Stokke, MC, NCC, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

I use elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in my work with clients to treat depression. I have a warm and compassionate approach, and strive to meet each client where he or she is at. I make referrals to psychiatrists who can prescribe medication if needed, and when appropriate; however, I believe that medication is not always necessary to treat depression. I help my clients implement good self-care practices and coping skills that can help to mitigate depressive symptoms.

Laurie Watson, MA, LMFT, LPC

Depression and anxiety are common mood instability problems rooted in childhood issues. If we feel secure and our feelings are taken into account by our parents, we grow up having a ballast that rights our boat when we encounter the storms of life. But many children were ignored by busy parents or parents filled with their own strife and did not receive the love that was necessary to feel that "tomorrow will be a brighter day." Because of these problems, our moods fluctuate and now our adulthood is diminished.
Therapy can help you develop a new center that is not forever dependent on medications regardless of your genetic disposition. You can feel secure in the world and relationships!

Katherine Cato, M.A., LPC, CEAP

Licensed Professional Counselor

Depression effects both partners in a relationship, not just one of you. If your partner suffers from depression, you may be left thinking "what about me"? Emotional difficulties don't just effect one of you- if one of you suffers from depression, then you both suffer from depression. Counseling can help if you want to:
Learn how to manage the effects of depression or other mood disorders on your relationship.
Learn how to build a relationship that helps mitigate the effects of depression.
Learn how to stop "walking on eggshells" and feeling trapped by your partner's depression.

Whitney Johnson, MAMFT, LPC, NCC

Licensed Professional Counselor

At the beginning of treatment, I work to stabilize someone experiencing depression or depressed mood. We discuss the benefits of a daily routine, scheduling pleasant activities, social support, nutrition, exercise, overall wellness & spirituality. We then move into work understanding the history of the depression & potential causes, as well as triggers of the depressed mood. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which has been researched & is an evidence based treatment for depression. This therapy teaches you how to become aware of your thoughts & the way they impact your mood. It is not difficult to learn & you will see benefits from the tools & techniques we discuss when you apply them!
